Wood might be able to return to the mound this afternoon, but it would be a tough assignment. Coach Stahl of Harvard, however, has a bit more to choose from. He could send Charley Brackett or Burgy Ayres to the hilt if Waldstein could not return...
Captain Walt Juszczyk is expected to take the mound again for Brown, having maintained his pitching form since he struck out ten of Coach Stahl's team, allowing only ten scattered hits two weeks ago.

He throws his curves both sidearm and overhand: sidearm to right-handed hitters, overhand to lefties...
